Other than a trip which might get the odd mention I will detail projects I am working on, what I want to be working on and what I have otherwise to report on.
I will update the individual projects as they advance.
As asked I have started to catalogue the references I have follow the link on the left where you can obtain them too. Want to email me wander over to qrz.com and you'll find my email address there. Also twitter @m1kta_qrp

On Saturday I received an award from the RSGB for my QRP efforts. And rather nicely other than a trophy that might just collect dust it is a working Norcal-20 complete with a key, so going to put it on the air at earliest opportunity, after checking it out first! As I already have a NorCal-20 I hope I'll be able to spot anything I need :-)

The previous list of recipients looks like a who's who from G-QRP so many thanks to all that may have commented to RSGB if asked. Don B (acting General Manager of RSGB) said that RSGB had taken advice from a number of sources before a decision was made.

Operating location from a top in alps c2600m

Now this was a perfect SOTA location, I stayed on top overnight and used the flag pole to my right to support a 40m/20m dipole, you can see the fixture I connected to, the little ring clamp, as soon as the cable car stopped for the night out came the radio gear, it even snowed! If I had taken 2m yagi would have been amazing location as line of sight was > 80miles, the Eiger and Jungfau (Bernese Oberland group) are in the photo over my right shoulder. Temp dropped to below minus 15 but the morning operating the grey line was fun 100 or so QSO SSB qrp as HB9/M1KTA/P.
